Senior Guinea Pig
I'm having to keep an eye on Errol pig (again) as he seems to be having a very strange problem. Whenever he is sat still, he'll start drifting/leaning towards the left and have to correct himself repeatedly. Same side as his lens luxation eye. It's definitely not a head tilt, and the leaning is both very gentle but noticeable.
General thoughts from another rodentologist and what had been in my mind is that it's fairly likely to be neurological, but I still have to be aware of the possibility of a mild ear infection or even the chance he could have had a very small stroke. His only symptom thus far is this drifting/leaning movement. He walks around fine, no loss of balance at all then, and he's eating normally, but whenever he is sat still he'll just...drift to the left! I'll try and get a video of it.
Reason for starting this thread is to ask if anyone else has had/come across a pig with suspected or diagnosed neurological problems.
